Ikos Porto Petro, Opening 2023

The growing collection is currently made up of five resorts – Ikos Oceania and Ikos Olivia in Halkidiki on the Greek mainland, Ikos Dassia in Corfu, Ikos Aria in Kos and Ikos Andalusia in southern Spain. In 2023 they’ll be joined by the Ikos Porto Petro on the Spanish island of Majorca, along with Ikos Odisia in Corfu.

The bar is set high for the new properties. Ikos Aria appeared as none less than the best hotel in Europe and the third-best hotel in the world in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2022, while Ikos Oceania was voted #1 Luxury all-inclusive in the world in 2019, before Ikos Dassia and Ikos Olivia took the title in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

The Brand-New Ikos Porto Petro, Majorca

Opening in 2023 as the first Ikos resort on this ever-popular island in the Balearics, this sleek and sparkling property will sit on one of Majorca’s best-preserved sites, beside both gorgeous Mondrago Natural Park and the cosmopolitan Porto Petro Marina.

Tucked away between two stunning beaches, the Calo dels Homes Morts and the Calo de Sa Torre, it will boast divine Mediterranean views, an exclusive Spa by Anne Semonin and an extensive gourmet offering embracing five à la carte restaurants, with menus by Michelin-starred chefs, and a brand new Food Market concept which serves buffet breakfasts and international cuisine, as well as à la carte options for lunch and dinner.

Rooms and suites at the Ikos Porto Petro will come with terraces and, in some cases, private pools, while the airy Mediterranean decor will be infused with Majorcan character. Some accommodation at the resort will be in the Deluxe Collection area, which guarantees the ultimate curated experience for guests, with exclusive services and premium benefits.

These include a welcome bottle of Taittinger champagne on ice, an unpacking service, an upgraded mini-bar, a pillow menu, and the services of a Deluxe Concierge/personal holiday planner to take care of everything from spa bookings and restaurant reservations to bespoke experiences such as romantic dinners on the beach. Deluxe Collection guests also have use of a private section of the beach and an exclusive swimming pool and enjoy two complimentary neck and back massages per room.
